Also this year I’ll show you how
to make some nice decorations together with your children at home. The past
year we glued Santa’s beard, made three decorations with socks and buttons, usedpines in different ways to embellish our tree.

This year I looked for something for decorating the house, and we begin today
with ‘my beloved’ carton of the egg boxes.

6. Cut some shapes out of the box (the best is using the flat cover,
folded). You’ll need two symmetrical shapes for every tree.

7. Paint the shapes. For our trees we used different shades of green and
some white for the snow, while for the stars and the moon we used yellow and
blue. You can choose other colour combinations such as red and white, for
instance, or green and gold.

8. Glue the shapes on both sides of the metallic thread. Insert the
bottom of the thread in the tree (I suggest that you drill a little hole before
with the scissors, the carton is thicker than it looks like) and fix it with
glue.

And that’s it, your decorations are ready! One more tip: since the trees are empty inside, you may
want to use them to create a cute Advent Calendar. You can put the numbers
instead of the stars for example… have fun!
